I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Woburn Sands which is to be sold. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many purchasers will insist that it is done before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
